In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

We cannot allow our country’s history to be erased by this administration by a thousand little cuts. Black history is American history, and it must be protected and preserved for generations to come. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The founders of an Underground Railroad history site in Albany, New York, claim the Trump administration’s funding cuts were aimed at marginalizing Black history.

Holy smokes— this exact thing happened to me. For a study I was participating in, I had to wait to initiate my checkpoint inhibitor treatment until some weeks after I had gotten my mRNA vaccine early in ‘21. Different cancer (Hormone+, HER2- breast cancer), but still. Exciting!

Donald Trump’s tariffs are the biggest tax hike in American history on working families, plain and simple.

Trump tariffs would hit lower-income Americans hardest
Tariffs are another blow to people struggling with higher prices.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

i suspect Mar-A-Lago will go down as one of our generation's infamous international spy hubs, the same way Cold War Berlin or World War 2 Campione d'Italia were. There's probably spies installing listening devices who are finding other spies' listening devices already there.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Oh so CEOs can count "personal" stuff as part of their workweek while everyone else has to use PTO or just not get paid if they have a doctor's appointment. Work out? On your own time, plebes. Take that out and there's 35 hours, 18 of which are meetings and 5 are business dinners

Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.
